Don't understand the value of this collection. There are some wonderful writers in here, but the excerpts seem to be randomly chosen, and rarely coalesce around a common theme.
At the end of the day, I don't think "wanderlust and dreams" is a sufficiently clear rubric to build an anthology around. And even if it were, chosing a handful of lengthy prose extracts from 20th century female novelists doesn't adequately serve it, to my mind.

Frustrating and disappointing. (
